No person who acquires citizenship AT BIRTH is naturalized.

Correct. That's the bottom line. And no US court will ever rule that a person who was a US citizen at birth is not a natural born citizen. It simply makes no sense.

Someone who is a US citizen at birth has not been naturalized, and thus they are natural born.

All else is obfuscation.

Ummmm, naturalization is the act of making a non-citizen into a citizen, by any means.

One means is to pass an Act of Congress that says something like "all persons born in those islands [Virgin Islands] on or after February 25, 1927, and subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, are declared to be citizens of the United States at birth." 8 USC 1406. Notice any reference to citizenship of parents? Any application for citizenship, test, oath? Are they NBC or naturalized? One or the other, which is it?

I suggest you recalibrate your obfuscation detector.
